Educational Articles and Webinars

There are a huge number of informational sites that can answer
your questions about plant care, harvesting, herb drying, pest
management, and so much more. The Outagamie County Master
Gardener Association publishes articles on a variety of topics in
the quarterly newsletter. One year of newsletters
(4 issues), plus an archive of past issues, are posted to this
website under 'About Us - Newsletters' and we invite you to peruse
both the current and archived issues when you have questions.

Many good articles are published each month and posted on the
website of the WI Master
Gardener Program. Additionally, WIMGA creates and posts
educational webinars that
provide extremely useful information and are focused on issues or
problems we're currently experiencing in Wisconsin.

Another useful resource is the University of
Wisconsin-Extension, and we have a very knowledgeable and helpful
group of experts right in Outagamie County. Not only is the
website helpful, many of
the employees are members of our Master Gardener group.

Birds & Blooms magazine employs the services of reknowned
horticulturist and "Plant Doctor" Melinda Myers to answer questions
in a series of online articles called 'Glad
You Asked'.
Melinda Myers also has her own website loaded with information
in the form of audio and video tips, podcasts, and copies of
handouts used at her lectures.

Focusing on our state, Wisconsin
Gardening posts many of the same articles that appear in the
magazine to its website.

This is, of course, just a very small sampling of the
information that is accessible via the internet. Be sure to
explore on your own -- and be sure to read the many gardening blogs
that have sprung up all over. Reading about someone else's
adventures and misadventures can really brighten your day!

Note to Master Gardener Volunteers: these learning
sites are not approved as Continuing Education hours unless
specifically identified as such.
